Ten years ago, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in a referendum.
十年前，英国通过一场全民公投决定退出欧盟。
Brexit became a reality on June 23, 2016, when 52% voted to leave the EU. Though the margin was narrow, the vote led to the most dramatic shake-up of the U.K. economy and society since World War II.
2016 年 6 月 23 日，52% 的选民投票支持脱欧，脱欧正式成为现实。尽管双方票数差距并不大，但这场公投仍引发了二战以来英国经济和社会最剧烈的一次变革。
A decade on, here is where Brexit stands.
十年过去，脱欧现状如下：
Brexit ushered in a harsh economic reality
脱欧之后，经济面临严峻现实
The British economy has not been revitalized.
英国经济并未如预期般重获活力。
Merchants have complained about the hurdles that they face when trading with their European neighbors.
经商人士抱怨，他们与欧洲邻国开展贸易时障碍重重。
Many of the trade deals that the Brexiters touted have not materialized.
脱欧派曾鼓吹的诸多贸易协定至今未能落地。
Experts say the British economy is between 4% and 8% smaller than it would have been had the country voted to remain in the EU. That would translate to much higher living standards and billions more pumped into public services.
专家表示，与留在欧盟的假设情景相比，英国经济规模缩水了4%至8%。这意味着民众本可以享有更高的生活水平，也会有更多巨额资金被投入公共服务。
The uproar over immigration is escalating
移民问题愈演愈烈
Brexit put an end to free movement between the U.K. and EU.
脱欧终止了英国与欧盟间的人员自由流动
Though net migration from Europe has plunged, it has soared from non-EU countries.
来自欧洲的净移民人数大幅下降，但来自非欧盟国家的净移民人数急剧上升。
Many are angered by migrants entering the country illegally across the English Channel. The uproar over small boat crossings has become one of the main political issues despite being a fraction of overall migration.
许多民众对经由英吉利海峡非法入境的移民感到愤怒。尽管“小船偷渡”仅占整体移民总数的一小部分，但围绕这一现象的争议已成为英国政治议题的焦点之一。
A reset would be complicated
重置与欧盟的关系相当棘手
The Labour Party has walked a tightrope since 2024. Having explicitly ruled out reversing Brexit or rejoining the EU's single market, it hasn't got a huge amount of political space to manoeuvre.
工党自 2024 年起如履薄冰。由于工党已经明确排除推翻脱欧决定或重新加入欧盟单一市场的可能性，政府在政策上的腾挪空间相当有限。
